scope:
The scope of this standard includes reference values for commonly used levels in acoustics, electroacoustics, and mechanical vibrations.
The use of levels to describe acoustical or vibratory quantities is not made mandatory by this standard. Reference values are provided for use when levels are employed.
The purpose of this standard is to encourage uniformity of practice by providing reference values of convenient magnitude for various kinds of acoustical levels.
Variable quantities for which this standard applies may vary in time or position, or both.
Reference values for acoustical levels not described in this standard should be selected after consideration of the guidelines given in Clause 3.
